For urban freight delivery trucks to switch to electric batteries, they would need to either need to operate at a short enough range that does not require recharging in the middle of a “single-charge shift”, or to deviate from their current tours to recharge en-route, which can be costly. However, limitations in data prevent policymakers from identifying the fraction of the market feasible for single charge shifts as the likely adopters. We propose using synthetic tours of trucks to identify this portion of the fleet for electrification. The framework is applied in a case study to a synthetic aggregate urban truck tour population in New York City to assess what portion of total freight routes can be delivered with electric trucks. Results suggest 64.6% percent of tours are electrifiable with the average tour consuming 45.2 kWh on a single charge. This scenario would lead to consumption of an extra 6.4 GWh/day of energy or a 4.5% increase for New York City. The most and least electrifiable industries are reported along with industries consuming the most kWh. Feasible operational cost conditions are established based on price per kWh versus price per gallon, added road damage due to the battery weight is assessed, and emission investment breakpoints are calculated based on CO2 emissions reductions from operations versus increases from battery construction.

摘要

For urban freight delivery trucks to switch to electric batteries, they would need to either need to operate at a short enough range that does not require recharging in the middle of a “single-charge shift”, or to deviate from their current tours to recharge en-route, which can be costly. However, limitations in data prevent policymakers from identifying the fraction of the market feasible for single charge shifts as the likely adopters. We propose using synthetic tours of trucks to identify this portion of the fleet for electrification. The framework is applied in a case study to a synthetic aggregate urban truck tour population in New York City to assess what portion of total freight routes can be delivered with electric trucks. Results suggest 64.6% percent of tours are electrifiable with the average tour consuming 45.2 kWh on a single charge. This scenario would lead to consumption of an extra 6.4 GWh/day of energy or a 4.5% increase for New York City. The most and least electrifiable industries are reported along with industries consuming the most kWh. Feasible operational cost conditions are established based on price per kWh versus price per gallon, added road damage due to the battery weight is assessed, and emission investment breakpoints are calculated based on CO2 emissions reductions from operations versus increases from battery construction.
